Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 251

Marion had personally seen Ned take a blow for Angeline before. She guessed that Angeline would be concerned, even if only out of guilt, so she told her about Ned's current condition.

"Is it Angeline?"

Alva's voice traveled through the phone.

When Marion confirmed this, Alva grabbed the phone and bombarded Angeline with many questions.

"Who was the guy who took you away? Wow… It was so cool how he used that old pervert's head to smash the coffee table! He took out that sleezebag with just two punches! He's a total thug in a suit! He's over six feet tall, isn't he? His legs are already three feet long! It feels like he's seven feet, at least.

"Those long legs, that lean figure, and that strength! Even after he beat the guy up, he didn't have a hair out of place, and he still looked as neat as he had when he first came in. That was so sexy. I could tell he was a top-quality hottie, even in the dark. Angeline, tell me the truth—is he your new man? Is he? He is, right?"

Alva was trying her best to suppress her screams in a very exaggerated way. Angeline couldn't help but lift a hand to her burning ears. She changed the subject rather clumsily.

"I left in a rush today. Are you and Marion hurt?"

"Angeline! Stop changing the subject!"

Marion put her mouth to the speaker, too.

"I would have asked if Alva hadn't! Who was that man? He is so hot!"

Just as Alva had said, it had been too dark. They could only sense that he was handsome. They hadn't recognized that it was Sean.

Angeline straightened up when she noticed Sean walking out with his wound bandaged.

She quickly said, "I'll tell you later. I've got to go, bye!"

She hung up and walked over to Sean. The sleeve on the side of his injured hand was stained with fresh blood.

She asked, "How often do you need to come back to get the dressing changed?"

"Every three days."

Ingrid had heard that Ned had gotten his head smashed in during a fight at the Night Palace and had been sent to hospital, so she had rushed over. Ned was awake, but according to Gregory, he had inexplicably chased everyone out of his hospital room and forbade anyone to enter. Ingrid had knocked on the door, but Ned had yelled at her to get lost.

Ingrid had never experienced that before.

She initially thought he had mistaken her voice for a nurse or someone else.

However, her assistant knocked again to inform him that it was Ingrid. Yet, Ned had thrown something at the door and yelled at them again.

Ned had told Ingrid that he would find a way to save Linda when he left that evening.

She puzzled over his treatment of her now.

Ingrid looked at Angeline, and her heart constricted when she noticed the man beside her had an injured hand.

She wondered if Ned had been fighting him.
